Announcements as of July 28, 2021

I have called you, and you have answered my call --

Do not mistake my silence for weakness, my forest kin. For I am willing to defend you with my fangs and claws, until the days come when am no longer able to. Keep an eye on the borders for Zelda and her sister Midna, because I will welcome them back into the flock on the day of their return.

The flood has left our forest home in a sorry state of disarray. I shall not tolerate this. Summer is here and we must rebuild our dens in time for winter. There is a lot of hard and dirty work ahead of us. But we shall face it together, as family, as a pack. Let's get back to work and then we shall hunt. I hunger for a feast.


From your new Alpha --

Moonshade, the Gravekeeper of Moladion

It is a big place, this land I have so chosen to make my home. I don’t think the size bothers me though, not truly, for how will it take before the land is rich and filled as the Kingdom I leave behind? I am born to fields of gold and wild blue skies, cliffs and ravines and as such, perhaps, I have never seen reason to fear that which is open any more then that which is closed with forest. I cannot say whether or not Coszcotl desires to have a pack so large as that of my Mother, I am sure though he desires more then have yet come though I think perhaps, for a time at least there is something to be enjoyed in the silence and quiet and freedom to move without colliding with another who bows and scrapes at your paws. I am not above them and yet so many make it so. When others continue to raise you up….how do you step down? Maybe I have gone about this the wrong way, maybe I have not stepped down- but away and yet I do not feel I have caused harm in this. Diveen is my brothers crown and throne, he desires it as flowers desire sun and indeed though one day I understand what it is I must do, I understand how the thing I will become may see so much of Diveen turn against me I cannot bring myself to challenge my Brother for something he so desires. I will only sit atop the throne of the City of Angels if Achilles and Sage in turn should both meet a death unseen and truly I have no wish for that. I love my siblings as I love my family and perhaps it is that love that makes me want to….leave.

These are strange things to feel, I do not understand them so entirely, though perhaps that is a folly of youth, I cannot say. I know only that I must take another path, that to be what I need to be, to do what I must do in the coming years cannot be done if it is I walk amongst those I move to turn from in once sense or another. I am no longer a tiny child, I am half a man grown and my work with Eden must continue still, though I still need more then just him, so many more and I am running out of time, there is just never enough. One year old…..and I am running out of time. I shook the thoughts away for now as I stood beside my Mother, allowing my own smile to touch the white of my lips, the russet rims of my gaze resting upon her. She is a wolf most brave my Mother, she stands so tall and proud and speaks so well in that which she desires and yet for all her skill, even I can see the sadness in her eyes and the way her voice trembles as she speaks. She will not cry, this I know, not until she believes none are looking. I do not know truly why she is so upset, I am moving to another pack, not another land. I will always be her son, I will always be Diveen’s Prince and I will always come home…at least….for as long as they will have me and I know a time will come when they will not. Maybe it is better then, to leave her side now then to grow only further in her shadow and in her footsteps and make such things only harder in the years to come.

He spoke then, asking us to see this land of his as Mother nodded, moving to step forward and beside him, to walk as his equal, not his leader and let him show us this land he had claimed for himself. I shifted slightly, waiting once more for her to speak, waiting for her touch against my side and signal for myself to come forward and toward the black and white male I had seen so often within the pack when it was Mother and I were given to walk in the mornings. I wanted to learn what she did, I wanted to see and understand why it was so very, very many came so willingly to her call. Many say it is Heyel’s call they answer, not truly her own or Kane’s. Yet I have walked to earth of DIveen and I have seen who it is they truly bow to. I have heard the taunts the wolves of Iromar and perhaps other packs offer in this, that Mother is a pawn of sorts, a puppet to be played. They need only walk amongst Diveen to see the mistruth of this. Diveen follows Isola, not Heyel and I believe he chose my Mother because he knew, that of his elder children, it would be she that would inspire a leadership different from his own. Perhaps I am wrong though, there is much I do not know of Heyel, there is much I must find out. I must find Eden again soon, though for now my thoughts were turned to the Alpha I had chosen as I moved to stand before him, to hold myself up, to let him see.

Maybe he will not take me, maybe I am too young or he perceives I cannot be yet of use and I suppose in this I would understand. I am not as the others though, this I know, I am not sure I can wait another year. There is no time. My paws shifted nervously with these thoughts, I am not used to standing before another this way and I find myself….anxious, the violet blue of my gaze lifting to his own to meet it. Nervous I may be, but I am not a coward, I will not tremble before him, if it is I am asking for something, then it is so that I will ask for it entirely and with pride in my own decision, a small smile gracing my features as he spoke though indeed the smile, truly, was not in my acceptance so much as it was in that which he offered Mother- a promise she would understand. She smiled in this also, nodding her head in grateful acceptance of this, moving once more to press her muzzle to the white and flickering black of my ruff before she shifted forward again, gesturing for Coza to lead the way as I found my own words once more.

“Thank you. Please, I would like very much to see this land I am to live in.”

If I am to be a living symbol of peace between our packs, then so be it. I desire this thing and if this is but the first step them I am glad to take it. Now I need only find a way to bring all others to this realisation. So much to be done. I stepped forward and away from my Mothers side for the first time since I was but a small, or smaller, child. Moving to step forward and into my pack land, my own eyes grown wide and ears pricked forward, curious and determined indeed to this land as another grin found my features, one all my own this time.

"Coza?"

I turned once more, white and red frame angling back towards his own, violet blue eyes seeking his once more as I stood upon ungainly limbs and too-large paws.

"What is it I will be in this Tribe? When they ask of my rank, what do I say?"

THE FOREST RANKS

THE GRAVEKEEPER

The Alpha Male of Taviora. He will accept all challenges and block any steals. He has taken an oath to protect all within the forest, alive and dead.

THE KEEPER OF SECRETS

This will be Moonshade's chosen co-alpha. They will also be able to accept challanges and steals in order to defend Taviora.

THE KEEPER OF TRUTHS

This rank will belong to the chosen heir of Taviora. This wolf will probably share Moonshade's blood. This rank can be challenged for if you believe that you are a better candidate for the job.

THE FOREST COUNCIL

Although the Alpha's have the final say in all matters, Taviora is still a pack, we are still a community. These wolves are the most senior members of our ranks. Their role is to guide, serve and protect. All of them have earned their place here and they should be respected at all times. Every position on the council can be challanged for by a subordinate pack member. However the council has the right to block a pack member from gaining the position if they have concluded that the individual has placed their own selfish desires before the best interest of the pack as a whole.

THE TUSKS

The packs lead fighter. One of the strongest and bravest in our ranks. They will answer the call to protect the forest if either of the Alpha's are absent.

THE JAWS

The packs head of defence. They are our chief hunter and guardian to all within the forest borders. They know every inch of Taviora and every wolf within.

THE HORNS

The packs most senior teacher. They are responsible for teaching and guiding all of our young and new members so that they will reach their full potential.

THE EYES

The packs trusted informant. This wolf spends a lot of their time outside the forest borders, keeping their eyes, ears and nose peeled for news or potential trouble. Due to the secretive and dangerous nature of this rank, only a wolf that the pack can trust with their lives will obtain this responsibility.

THE DARKDWELLER

This is Taviora’s Head Healer. This wolf is responsible for treating the pack's wounds, injuries and illnesses. They are also expected to be one of the first on scene when a mother goes into labour. Along with their counterpart, The Soothsayer, they will train future healers for the service of our pack and our allies.

THE SOOTHSAYER

This is Taviora’s Head Counselor. Their knowledge of healing and herbal remedies are equal to that of their counterpart, The Darkdweller. This wolf specializes in helping us conquer the unseen demons in our heads and our hearts. They are also expected to help bring all children of the forest safely into this world.

NIGHTWATCHERS

Our trusted packmates that guard the borders while the rest of us sleep safely in our dens. If something is amiss within our lands, they should be the first to intercept any threat and call for back up when needed. Some might not call themselves soldiers, but they will spill blood if push comes to shove.

DAWNSTRIDERS

The most diligent and selfless of our pack. They are up at first light and leave our inner sanctum every few days in search of prey. They hunt far and wide in order to make sure none of us go hungry. While not out hunting, they are free to relax or assist the Nightwatchers, Daylightres or Dawnstriders with their tasks.

DAYLIGHTERS

This group will make up the bulk of our pack, they are our beloved family. They are generalists and commoners who are charged with looking after the most central and sacred parts of our home. Along with The Horns, they are expected to watch out for our children. We are happy to keep all within our ranks that love and respect the forest of Taviora.

DUSKWALKERS

Rumoured to be the most free spirited and independent members of our pack, they guard when no other eyes are available. They wander down all the winding dirt paths and have been known to explore into the freelands. They are envoys and ambassadors who assist The Eyes with their duty of keeping us all safe.

ANCIENT PINES

These wolves are older and have retired from active service. We thank them for all that they have done for our pack, however long or short their tenor was. They shall live out the rest of their years with the best food, shelter and company we can offer them.

THE BRIAR PATCH

This is the name for Taviora’s nursing mothers and their litters of puppies. Once they are born, at least one parent is expected to temporarily step down from their role in order to raise their pups for the first 6 months of their lives. An exemption can be made if another mother is willing to look after the young while the parents resume their service to the pack.

THE SAPLINGS

Too big for the briar patch but not yet old enough to be called a daylighter. These are all puppies between the age of 1 and 3. Pups can start their training from 2 and above if The Horns has found a suitable Mentor for them.

THE WELCOMED

These wolves are welcome within our borders anytime of the day or night. Blocking their access will be met with disapproval and possible punishment.

THE BANISHED

They are enemies of our pack and their presence will not be tolerated within or near our home. Those caught in contact with a wolf on this list will likely share the same fate.

THE SACRED TOMBS

Our brothers and sisters that have sadly left us for their next adventures. We give thanks for their lives and we send them on with all our love, hopes and dreams. Moonshade will accept the bones of any wolf that has ever called Taviora their home and will find them a special place within our hallowed grounds. Every burial mound is individual and sacred. Tampering or messing with one will not be tolerated. A crime against the dead will be treated as though it has been committed against a living pack member.

Remember, we are always watching from the shadows ...
